Sonic Cartography

Sonic cartography is the practice of mapping soundscapes, examining how sound influences and shapes our understanding of environments. It involves recording and analyzing audio from specific locations to understand cultural, social, and environmental aspects through auditory experiences. By using sound as a medium, sonic cartographers create representations of places that highlight the relationship between sound and space, often revealing hidden stories or dynamics that visual maps may overlook. This approach allows for a richer appreciation of how we experience the world through hearing, emphasizing the significance of sound in our daily lives and interactions with different environments.
